Will this work with "always on" devices like Roku and AppleTV?

Not familar with those devices, it is a HDMI switch, I connects the HDMI output of one device to the HDMI input of up to 4 devices. If the output device is sending a signal, it will be sent to the inputs of each device.

Great Question, I'm unsure,, so far I've only used it on iPad, iPhone & Roku w/ USB port

Use the learning mode programming feature of the URC A6, and you can program it for anything. I have had success with controlling Roku players using the original remote to learn the functions.

Yes. My TV has two HDMI inputs, so I have my Apple TV and DVD player in the 3 Port Switcher. It automatically synchs to whatever machine is working. There's also a manual selection option.

That's a good question. I can only assume that it would work with any Roku system. The Roku I have did not come with a remote (purchased from a friend), and I ordered this one because it was the cheapest I could find and it worked just fine with my Roku XS

I am not sure how it works, but it seems to work well for me. It actually works better than when I had my AppleTV sitting in my entertainment cabinet behind glass doors. I have not had any issues. You can always download the Apple Remote app if you have an iPad or iPhone. I have found that the Remote app is preferable anyway because of the virtual keyboard and the Remote app connects via Wifi.

I don't think it will. Thisd is an OTA ATSC tuner. For IPTV you need something like a ROKU or Apple TV, possibly just a PC connected to the internet and a subscription to the IPTV service you need.

That's what I was hoping for, but no, not from what I've seen from trying to use it. The issue is that you have to connect to this dongle as a WiFi network of its own, which means you can only play stuff already downloaded onto your device i.e. music or video already on your iPhone, not streaming. I think the Roku stick (coming out this week) is better for what you want to do.

I don't know. I use it with my iPad and my MacBook. It should work. I use my iPad with my AppleTV.

Michael, I would agree with Bruce. I have a PC, and a Roku on my switch and they work perfectly together. The unit also switches automatically when one device goes off. I would recommend contacting amazon for an exchange.

No. Adding AirPlay is actually expensive ($20-30 per unit is the reported cost, mostly due to license fees for it) and it isn't as widely compatible as Bluetooth. You could add AirPlay with an AppleTV, but then it won't trigger the unit on automatically when used.

You bet it will. It will work on any tv or projector. AppleTV no problem. Anything with an HDMI will now work through RCA inputs. This is a product that consumers don't waft to sell in stores cuz it will stop people from buying unneeded TV's & such. I have 2 of these.

I have no experience with Roku, But the Sima is a simple switch that does not modify the signal or significantly weaken the signal. So I would expect it to work with any signal that works in a direct connection.

Using it on a second TV will require a third device. I use AppleTV and stream it through my iPad.

i can't imagine why it wouldn't. roku is still roku and still works the same way. but just to be certain you should call the help line (800-420-7968) and ask. they'd be able to give you the definite answer and help you to program it also.

Yes. I am using 8 Windows 8.1 devices, and multiple TVs, Roku boxes, Android phones and tablets as well as several DirecTV receivers in wireless and wired situations. It should be compatible with pretty much anything that uses a wired or wireless connection.

Sorry, no idea. I am connecting to a Rasberry Pi which only outputs HDMI. I use this to strip the sound off of the Rasberry Pi that has the Squeezeplug software installed. If the Roku ouputs HDMI and you only need sound which you want to use as input into receiver as analog, then it will likely work.
